ZF: New Automatic Transmission for Passenger Cars

ZF has developed a 9-speed AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION for passenger cars with a transverse front engine. ZF already presented a stepped automatic transmision for vehicles with a transverse front engine at the IAA in 2009. The new transmission will offer significantly better performance while at the same time reducing fuel consumption. The modern torsion damper systems in the torque converter also have a favourable effect on fuel consumption and CO2 emission. Production of the transmission is planned in Greenville, South Carolina (USA).
